What works for one person does not necessarily work for another. Ironic, you assume that because you’ve found the perfect zone & situation for yourself that the entire rest of the world must follow. I’m sorry, but it just doesn’t work that way, and this is how the seeds of self-righteousness are sown. Offer your experience but hold the judgment. You slammed me on another thread for admitting continued addict behavior with sub. All it did was make me feel defensive and wish i hadn’t said anything (until someone else chimed in, thankfully). It was the first time i actually admitted that to anyone besides myself, and the therapeutic benefit of airing that dirty laundry was HUGE. WTF are we here for if not to be honest and seek (& offer!) support? I don’t find it supportive for someone to tell me i’m wrong and should do what they’re doing… I am interested in hearing other’s experiences and stories. I NEED to hear them! Every one i’ve read so far has given me a small piece of wisdom, hope or a seed of salvation (no, i’m not religious). And i am gathering these precious seeds into my own personal arsenal for recovery.
You can offer what works for you without judging or condemning… That is what people need. Your experience may be the piece that clicks for someone and saves their life. But not if they’re gagging as it’s being jammed down their throat.
And by the way, "generic subutex all the way" did NOT work for me. We are individuals with totally different & subtle brain & body chemistry. ONE SIZE FITS ALL doesn’t work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
